Consequence of Academic Dishonesty

 When dishonesty is evident, the following minimum sanctions will be applied:

• First Offense: The student may receive an F or zero as the grade for the assignment. The first incident may result in the loss of proctored testing privileges. The student’s name will be added by the dean to the college-wide academic dishonesty list to facilitate tracking of additional offenses and the implementation of further sanctions if applicable.

• Second Offense: If a second offense occurs at any point in the student’s academic career at CCA, the student may receive an F for the course and may be referred to the Chief Student Affairs Officer (CSAO) for an expulsion from the class or suspension from the college. A second offense may also result in permanent loss of proctored testing privileges. The second offense will be noted by the dean on the college-wide academic dishonesty list.

• Third Offense: If a third offense occurs at any point in the student’s academic career at CCA, the student will receive an F for the course and may be referred to the Chief Student Affairs Officer (CSAO) for expulsion from the college. The third offense will again be noted by the dean on the college-wide academic dishonesty list.
